About Le Marais

Le Marais, "the marsh", is a historic district spread across parts of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements on the Right Bank of the Seine. Once an aristocratic quarter, it keeps many buildings of historic and architectural importance. After the French Revolution the nobility left and the district fell into disrepair; after a long decline it is again one of the more fashionable areas of Paris, known for its art galleries, upscale restaurants and museums, and France's tourism site points to its trendy concept stores.
